"elder brother!"
The girl screamed in panic and cried loudly in fear.
Suddenly, a stone was thrown from beside him, hitting the head of the charging wild dog, causing it to howl. Immediately afterwards, a small figure suddenly rushed out from the side, holding the wooden stick in both hands, and rushed towards the wild dog.
"elder brother!"
Looking at the little figure, the girl was so excited that she burst into tears.
After a while, the wild dog was chased away by the boy, throwing down the stick, and the boy ran towards the girl.
His face was stained with tears and there was a faint trace of blood. Her knees and feet were still bleeding, and her little hands were scratched and the pain made the girl tremble a little.
When the boy saw this, he felt very distressed and quickly said, "What are you doing running out here!"
Thinking that the boy was blaming herself, the girl was so wronged that she shed tears again.
Squatting down, gently holding the girl's hand, and gently wiping off the dirt on her hand, the boy whispered: "Stop crying."
The girl obeyed and stopped crying, but she still kept sobbing and crying.
Wiping the tears on the girl's face, the boy gently held her in his arms.
"Are you not scared?" the boy asked.
The girl sobbed a few times and finally said: "I'm afraid, Xi'er is afraid."
The boy patted the girl's back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my brother is here and he will protect you."
She threw herself into the boy's arms, and the boy comforted her for a while before the girl calmed down.
"Why did you run out?" the boy asked.
Hearing this, the girl showed aggrieved look again and said: "Xi'er thought that my brother didn't want me anymore, so she came out to look for him. It's so scary here. Xi'er didn't know where my brother was and kept calling him. Xi'er was so scared. .”
When the boy heard this, he felt heartbroken.
"I'll come out and pick some fruits for you. I'll be back soon," the boy said.
As he spoke, the boy took out a yellow-orange fruit from his pocket.
He peeled it open for the girl and put a piece in her mouth. The boy asked: "Is it delicious?"
The girl squinted her eyes and said subconsciously: "Sour."
But as soon as he said it, he quickly said: "It's delicious."
The boy smiled and said: "Well, this fruit is sour. I call it sour fruit, but it fills the stomach and can last for a long time after eating it."
As he said this, the boy ate a small piece himself and squinted his eyes in soreness.
After eating the fruit, the boy carried the girl on his back and came to a small stream.
Carefully clean the wounds on the girl's hands, feet and knees, and wash her face.
The blood and stains on the face were washed away, revealing a delicate face.
She has exquisite facial features and a clear face, which is really cute.
"Xi'er looks so good-looking," the boy said.
The girl looked shy.
The boy smiled, and then suddenly his fingers were stained with some soil, and he applied it to the girl's face.
The girl was stunned, looked at the boy and pouted.
"This is better," said the boy.
The girl blinked in confusion.
"Xi'er is so good-looking. If bad guys see her, they will take her away," the boy said.
There was a trace of fear on the girl's face.
The boy smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, my brother will protect you."
The girl smiled sweetly.
...
On the way back, the boy carried the girl on his back through abandoned villages, through wilderness fields, and through weeds taller than an adult.
The girl lay quietly on the boy's back, with a sweet smile on her face.
She had never felt at ease before. In the girl's hazy memory, it seemed that she had not been so happy for a long time.
"Brother, don't leave Xi'er again, Xi'er is so scared." The girl said.
The boy gasped and said, "Yeah, I'll take Xi'er with me wherever I go from now on."
Xi'er smiled sweetly, stretched out her little hand, and put a piece of sour fruit into the boy's mouth.
After walking and stopping for a long time, the two of them returned to the temple.
The boy sat down on the ground and then lay on the ground, too tired to move.
Seeing the blood oozing out from the boy's back, the girl's eyes filled with tears, and her heart ached.
Carefully touching the boy's back, the girl asked nervously: "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!" the boy said, "That bad guy was so cruel. It will take ten and a half days to recover."
The girl burst into tears.
"It's all Xi'er's fault. If it wasn't for Xi'er, my brother wouldn't have been beaten." The girl cried.
The boy struggled to get up, scratched the corner of the girl's eye, and said, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry too much."
The girl threw herself into the boy's arms and tried to hold back her tears, but she still couldn't help but shed tears.
...
The girl felt sorry for the wound on her foot that had not healed. The boy did not go to the city to beg in the past few days, but went out to pick wild fruits every day.
Every time before going out, the boy would repeatedly tell the girl not to run around. I was also worried that she would be scared to be alone in the temple, so she would return to the temple as quickly as possible every time. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely and out of breath. After returning, she had to lie on the ground to rest for a long time.
A few days later, scabs formed on the scraped skin on the girl's hands, feet and knees. Looking at the straw sandals made of thatch under her feet, the girl was very happy.
"Brother, Xi'er's feet no longer hurt. I'll go out with you today." The girl said, holding the boy's arm.
The boy thought for a moment, but did not refuse, and then said: "Then let's go to the city today and see what delicious food we can find."
In the dilapidated old city, two small figures wandered around.
He was dirty and looked pitiful. Passers-by took it for granted and no one took a second look.
The girl kept holding the boy's arm tightly with her little hands, for fear of being separated from the boy, and her little face was always nervous.
On the side of the road, two children knelt down begging. In a small alley, two children were walking around in confusion.
After a whole day, as night fell, I got a piece of leftover pancake from a roadside stall.
The two of them had half of the meal each, eating happily and smiling sweetly.
On the way back, Xu was too tired and the girl couldn't walk. The boy carried her on his back, and soon the girl fell asleep.
In the ruined temple, the boy tiredly put the girl on the thatched bed made for her. Just as he was about to leave, the girl suddenly woke up and grabbed the boy's hand.
"Brother, I'm afraid," the girl said.
"Don't be afraid, brother is right next to you." The boy reassured.
The girl still didn't let go and said, "Brother, sleep with me."
The boy smiled helplessly, then lay down, leaning sideways and holding the girl in his arms.
...
Winter is approaching, and at a certain street corner, two children are standing close together, shivering with cold.
"Brother, I'm cold." The girl said with a trembling voice.
The boy quickly held the girl in his arms and moved as far as possible towards the stall with a stove nearby.
Looking at the freshly baked pancakes on the stall, the girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Go, go, stay away from me."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and he drove away with an impatient expression.
"Uncle." The girl begged pitifully.
The middle-aged man didn't respond, but after turning his head, he sighed softly. There are too many children begging like this in this old city. It's not that they have a cold heart, it's just that the world is too bleak.
As night approaches, the stall owners take up their seats. The little boy and the little girl looked at the departing shadow of You Tan with disappointment, feeling endless loss in their hearts.
"Brother, let's go back." The girl whispered.
The boy hummed, stood up, held the little girl with his little hands that were already purple from the cold, and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Back at the ruined temple, the two children were very hungry and could only rely on the wild fruits that the little boy had stored in the autumn to satisfy their hunger.
From their point of view, they are already lucky. At least they have such a place that no one knows is sheltered from the wind and rain, and there are also such a pile of wild fruits to fill their stomachs.
The next day, the boy got up early.
It was too cold outside, so the boy lit a fire and asked the little girl to stay in the ruined temple and wait for him to come back.
The little girl refused to listen and said she was scared to be alone. However, how could the little boy not know what it was like?
After living here for many days, the girl is already used to it, so how can she be afraid. She just wanted to be with the little boy, and was afraid that the little boy would be cold outside alone.
After much talk, the little boy finally promised to come back early and promise to bring her a gift as long as she obeyed, and the little girl reluctantly agreed.
A ruined temple in the mountains, a small lonely figure waiting.
The little girl spent the whole day leaning against the temple door, looking at the way back, hour after hour.
I couldn't bear to take a bite of the wild fruit in my hand. It was so warm that I waited for the little boy to come back before eating it.
As night fell, the little girl became a little anxious when she saw that the little boy still hadn't returned.
Pouting, the little girl originally wanted to go find the little boy, but was afraid that he would be angry, so she didn't dare to go out. I can only pray over and over again in my heart.
Until nearly midnight, even though she was sitting in front of the temple gate shivering with cold, the little girl refused to move and stared at the way back.
After another long time, the little girl heard the rustling footsteps approaching and rushed out. It was the little boy who dragged his tired body back here.
She threw herself into the little boy's arms and hugged him tightly. The little girl's hanging heart was relieved. It was obvious that the little girl was shaking slightly, but she managed to hold back her sobs and did not cry out. I didn't blame the little boy for coming back late, but he was just full of worry and heartache.
Limping back to the ruined temple, using the dim light of the fire, when the little girl saw the little boy's purple and swollen face with some blood stains, she could no longer restrain her emotions, and she suddenly gasped. He burst out crying, hugging the little boy, and cried till he was in tears.
"It's okay, don't cry." The little boy said.
As he spoke, the little boy took out something wrapped in rags beside him.
"Look, a gift for you."
Hearing this, the little girl stopped for a moment and subconsciously looked at what the little boy was holding.
A somewhat old cotton-padded jacket.
"How's it going? Do you like it?" the little boy asked.
Wow...oooooo...
The little girl cried again, louder and more sadly than before.
After a long time, the little girl stopped crying under the comfort of the little boy.
"I've been hungry all day. I'll give you something delicious to eat." the little boy said.
Wiping the tears on the little girl's face, the little boy took out another pancake from the rag bag.
"The uncle was in a good mood today. He gave me a piece when he closed the stall. Eat it." The little boy said.
The little girl didn't answer, but pushed it back and said, "Brother, eat. Xi'er is not hungry. Xi'er ate wild fruits."
But as soon as she said this, the girl's stomach growled.
The little boy smiled and put half of it into the girl's hand.
Chewing the sweet pancakes, mixed with the unstoppable tears, the girl was full of heartache, but she also smiled sweetly.
